Effect of dietary Se Y on the growth performance in weaned pigs.
| Items | Treatments | P value | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CON | SSY | DT | DSY | SEM | SeY | Diquat | SeY × diquat | |
| 1-21 | ||||||||
| ADG (g/day) | 390.86a | 335.05ac | 221.71b | 271.62bc | 88.07 | 0.65 | 0.01 | 0.10 |

Values are means ± SEM, (n = 8), nonchallenged pigs (CON, fed with basal diet), diquat-challenged pigs (DT, fed with basal diet), and SeY-treated pigs (fed with basal diet containing 250 mg/kg SeY) challenged by sterile saline (SSY) or diquat (DSY). a,b,cMean values within a row with unlike superscript letters were significantly different (P < 0.05). ADFI: average daily feed intake; ADG: average daily gain; G/F: the ratio of gain to feed intake.
